I am posting this reply to the GA as although I am a member of the at-large
- for some reason I receive emails but can't post.
So for the record here is my response to some very important issues
concerning root.

Well I don't know about the benefit to the global community with respect to
a decentralized situation. Theres a lot of politics - which amounts to a
lot of bull ****. Decentralization is the way we are headed of the last few
years are any indication. Decentralization is also good for the all the
networks over all. The Internet is in fact a decentralized model when it
comes to control. Thats its design.
The networks that use the IANA / DOC root create a lot of error and traffic
overhead. The Internet has grown around the IANA root - not with it - as a
result the IANA root gets a lot of bogus traffic. The error and traffic
overload on the IANA root was well documented in 2003.

The problem has grown exponentially as China has added National
Infrastructure, along with the Arabs, the Turks

and many more to follow.
Nat 66 offers new potential in establishing addressing systems and less
dependence on a core function which is now addressed via the iana doc
contract.
Your right to say that the world has discovered something common for all.
The problem here is that it takes away control from the people now
benefiting from it. DNSSEC is just another silly attempt to create an
Internet monopoly amongst a small group of people - the ICANN cartel.
Nat66 is opposed just because it will cost the ICANN cartel money and they
may lose their monopoly. I agree with you that everyone will might or will
benefit from it. But the ICANN cartel at the IETF will block it because
people will lose power and that translates into cold hard cash.
The IETF is a joke these days. The things they let by are scary - like
DNSSEC. Any nation on earth who investigates DNSSEC would not want anything
to do with it. Thats why all the noise is made on this issue. Your
mathematical reference to the noise being like "one wanting to change the
(+, -, / and x) in Arithmetic/ Mathematics" is funny. Its however less
mathematics then it is accounting. More power to the people means extra "
+" (pluses) for everyone - but it also means more " - " minuses for the
various Isociety cartels.
This is a bit off topic but I disagree with you that English is the Internet
language. The Internet does not have a spoken or written language except
for various programing languages. All the Internet does well is communicate
from one end point to another. The English used on the Internet is more to
do with human communications.
English is more a global language. A lot of people so naturally it will
predominate on the net.
But the Internet is also about harnessing computer power. And at todays
technological advancements I can see very good translation programs bringing
us together. The trick is to build a protocol for interpretation in inter
human language sets.
Just my two cents.
